Indian footballers are making steady progress. Playing for the country and bringing laurels to Bharat Mata are becoming the new mantras in our footballing circles. Earlier it used to be Club first. But now it is more and more Country first. Our coach Shri Bob Houghton is doing fine. Best wishes to Team India.
Like a smart coach Houghton knows that it will take patience to create a world level team and progress happens in a step like fashion. He has given a promising start (winning AFC Challenger) and taguth not to worry about useless tournaments (SAFF Cup). I expect a upward trend in our Football team now. Way to go Bob!!!
Houghton has done remarkable work for Indian Football. He is trying very hard to make india one of the best sides of Asia and has a very good future plan. This is the kind of coaching that was required to make Indian football a reckoning force in Asia and He is doing great to achieve this goal. I hope indian hockey also gets some lessons from him.
Houghton took the Indian team to Portugal where we did well. The Nehru Cup win. The AFC Challenge win. The Indian team needs more foreign trips inorder to improve ts ranking. I feel that Houghton will be able to get India into the top 10 of Asia in a few years.
If all the coaches think on these lines then a day will come where we could see India winning more medals in Olympics. Way to go Me Bob the builder !!! india4olympics dot com
